Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Fujifilm S9800 and Canon SX50 HS side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9800 has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries). Canon SX50 HS has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 106 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.17″) and weighs 595 g (1.31 lb / 20.99 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9800 and the Canon SX50 HS. Fujifilm S9800 has the same height and width with Canon SX50 HS. On the other hand, with a thickness of 116mm, it is 10mm thicker.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9800 and Canon SX50 HS.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Fujifilm S9800 and Canon SX50 HS.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon SX50 HS is 75g lighter than the Fujifilm S9800 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither the Fujifilm S9800 nor Canon PowerShot SX50 HS provides any type of weather sealing in their bodies, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.
